Dave Carroll – Musician, Author of United Breaks Guitars, Co-Founder of Gripevine – Highlight here
Dave Carroll was a successful, national musician when he faced a difficult customer service issue with United Airlines in 2009. They broke his guitar, refused to reimburse him, and so he responded with a music video called “United Breaks Guitars.” It became an instant viral hit and today is has 14 million views. United Breaks Guitars has been called “one of the most important [videos] in Google’s history,” and became a metaphor for change and innovation. In May, 2012 Dave Carroll wrote a book about his customer experience called, “United Breaks Guitars: The Power of One Voice in the Age of Social Media.” Whether you are a musician, a baggage handler, or a boardroom executive, this book will entertain you and remind you that we are all connected, and that we all have a voice worth hearing. Dave is now a highly sought after professional speaker and is increasingly being commissioned to write songs for other people and organizations. He is also co-founder of Gripevine.com, an on-line customer complaint resolution platform that brings consumers and businesses together in a mutually beneficial way.
